he met with president obama yesterday. then he went to talk with wolf blitzer who asked if he would support the president's plan of bringing the rates back up on the wealthiest americans. let's listen. >> if that's what it took to make the math work i wouldn't preclude that if the numbers drive that way. >> he says maybe a tax rate increase should be part of a deal. can't it be part of a deal? not the whole deal but part of it? >> i met with a number of the same business leaders that met with the president yesterday. we took a look at the entire picture of the spending cuts, dealing with medicare, social security. dealing with the issue of tax revenue. you need to have all of these things on the table if you're going to get a solution that sends a credible signal to the markets, not just here but around the world that we are seriously dealing with our debt. unless you focus on the big drivers which are the entitlements with it coming baby boom generation hitting social security and medicare age we can't solve the problems

ceos were optimistic about their 90-minute meeting with president obama yesterday. walmart ceo mike duke in a statement urging a solution to the fiscal cliff. he says this, "our customers are working hard to adapt to the new normal, but their confidence is still very fragile. they're shopping for christmas now and they don't need uncertainty over a tax increase." and it's interesting, because insiders, inside the beltway, are starting to say, well, it's more like a slope, it's not a cliff. >> i think mike duke is right. it's a cliff. >> it's a cliff if you're going to get a tax increase in your first paycheck next year. it's a cliff if you're not going to get your payroll tax holiday, which is 20 bucks a month. it's a cliff if you're living paycheck to paycheck, which is what mike duke is saying. >> and if you're trying to decide, do i buy my kid a bike or not? >> and weapon don't know how the market would react if they push this a week or two weeks in. it's playing with fire. >> we'll keep talking about the fiscal cliff. because we're on day number 47 or something

obama care. we achieve many of those savings by ending the overpayments to some of the private insurance companies within medicare. >> but we don't have health care costs under control. and that still is -- obama care did not address the rising cost of health care. frankly, some say wasn't even meant to. it was about access to health care. we can -- we can -- we can fight that battle all over again. but, bottom line, i think, is that, you know, mitch mcconnell and others have said that, you know, they're the ones who are bending. they're not seeing the bending from the democrats. let's listen to mcconnell for a second here. >> republicans have stepped out of our comfort zone, we've been clear about what we'll do and what we won't, and yet we remain at an impasse. leading us to ask, why? because a vocal minority on the hard left continues to argue to leaders of their party from the president on down that democrats in washington should do absolutely nothing about short-term or long-term spending pr

president obama and netanyahu have not gotten along. that's been well documented. but the united states is now reaching out going to help israel in a new way. so that does strengthen bibi netanyahu's long-term position, as well. >> final question the other actor in the region we've been talking about all of them is egypt, of course. the u.s. has really fallen all over itself thanking egypt for its role in achieving a cease-fire here. but over the last 24 hours, something fascinating happened in egypt. the leader there mohamed morsi game himself immunity from any kind of legal challenge until there is a new constitution in that country. some people say that essentially lines him up to be a dictator. >> well he certainly gives him very worrying powers. authoritarian powers. he has not used them. there are lots of reasons he did that. egypt is under the gun to try to produce a new constitution. some of the judges that president mubarak put in toward the end may not be as neutral and objective. let's wait and see how morsi uses these powers. up until now he's done pret

imagine the obama/romney situation in that sense. he and john adams were the great frenemies in life. they fell out over politics in the 1790s and came back together again. it's actually an interesting tale of redemption. they fundamentally disagreed about the most important things about the country, but they admired each other in the sense that they were both fighting in a cause. >> can we ask about sally hemmings? you write this, slavery was a real subject where it kept him from martialing his hope in the service of cause of reform. on one hand, big reformer. you talked about optimism. on the other hand, his actual life completely contradicted that. >> absolutely. >> people describe sally, that she was in love with him. oth others have said that was completely untrue, that she was a slave and in a position that she was going to do whatever it took to survive. there's a range of theories on that. why was he like that when he so seemed to be for everything -- against everything that slavery stood for? >> because he was a human being.
